Limassol, with more scheduled with Paralimni, Ayia Napa and Larnaca.<br \/>\nThe goal, he said, \u201cis through these contacts to identify if there is anything pending, any problem that we can resolve and at first glance I see that we are on a very good track in terms of building facilities\u201d.<br \/>\nHe added that he will also be informed on any other issues including personnel and relocation.<br \/>\nOn the meetings already had in Nicosia and Limassol, Ioannou said that \u201cin general we are on the right track, but what we keep saying is that this is a huge reform; we are changing attitudes, with three different bodies coming together, with transfers taking place within the town planning department, the district offices and municipalities\u201d.<br \/>\nHe also noted that time will be needed until the situation is normalised, as in any reform.<br \/>\n\u201cWe expect there will be difficulties,\u201d he said, and noted that \u201cthe will is there, we are here with the will to solve all issues for the benefit of the public\u201d.<br \/>\nHe said the big problem a year ago was the issue of infrastructure, pointing out that there has been some progress and congratulating the district\u2019s cooperation with his ministry.<br \/>\nOn the local plan for Paralimni, Ioannou said it was an issue that has been pending for may years due to objections that had been made, and had to be redrawn.<br \/>\n\u201cWe had promised that it would be published again by the middle of 2024,\u201d he said, adding that the previous day he had been briefed on the new plan and approved it.<br \/>\n\u201cIt will be published in the official government gazette before the end of the month,\u201d he said, noting that there will be a four-month window for objections before it moves into implementation, so the public will know about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The implementation of local government reform in Cyprus is at an advanced stage and
